Biggest pro of being the unpaid Monkey Intern: Having an excuse to go see 3-d action movies.

Biggest con of being the unpaid Monkey Intern: I did mention “unpaid”, right? Can I at least use this as a tax write-off? I mean, it was $13.50 for primetime with a 3-d upcharge…can’t someone toss the interns of the world a bone here?

Posted on February 21, 2012 by | 1 Comment

Join us this week as we “talk the walk” and look at one of our favorite subjects of entertainment, The Walking Dead.  We jump right into the zombie apocalypse and discuss the things we both love and “meh” about the AMC hit, the similarities and differences between the comics and the show, and go SPOILER CRAZY in the name of good conversation and entertainment.  So, barricade the doors and windows, lock and load those earphones, and be wary of other survivors as we discuss The Walking Dead!  **WARNING – SPOILERS AHEAD!**

The first half of the show is spoiler free though so feel free to download and listen, we warn you before we start the spoiler discussion.

John Carter Sneak Peak

Posted on February 16, 2012 by | 3 Comments

When I first heard of John Carter my first thought was, “la-ame.”  But after reading up on the history of the character and seeing the trailers, I’m seeing things a little differently.  If anything the movie looks epic and fun.

The movie is set to release March 9, 2012 and it stars: Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Mark Strong, Samantha Morton, Thomas Haden Church, and Willem Dafoe.  Here’s the latest trailer:

What are your thoughts on John Carter?  Will you be seeing the movie?
